  Yes, I drew the arrow that way deliberately to illustrate that it still works okay for the absolute worst case scenario:
  
  - Right-most tab is active
  - User decides to move the mouse diagonally to position it over the text of an item low down in the list, in the process crossing over the History tab
  
  Virtually all other use cases will not have the above constraints and the user can be expected to move the cursor straight up.
  
  I just increased the timer to 50ms, and here's a video showing that there isn't a problem:

  That said, I agree that a very lenient triangle filter might work better here, so I'm willing to give it a shot.

  That sounds like a sane, humane, and re-usable solution!
